While watching the NFL playoffs a few weeks ago I saw a commercial that really struck me as relevant.  The commercial (watch below) shows an established barbershop that has a competitor open up across the street offering 6 dollar haircuts.  Initially the new shop takes his business away but then the older shop gets a sign made that says “Fixes 6 dollar haircuts.”

While I don’t usually gather wisdom from commercials, this hit home for me and what we do at RSI.  We fix “6 dollar inspections”. The commercial is not about price, it’s about quality. At RSI we have managed to produce high quality inspections at an economical price. Many companies (in any industry) have difficulty providing both price and quality (we have had 40 years of experience doing so.) I have countless clients that have come to us because the inspection that someone else did for them was sub-par. It missed hazards in plain view, the square footage was off etc.  To save a few dollars on an inspection, what are you willing to risk?  A $100,000 claim?  A $1,000,000?  Can we prevent every loss, no.  No inspection company can.  What we can do is provide you with an accurate inspection that will be more valuable to your underwriting process then others.
